520 Falstaff in Richard Jones' delightful production for the
Glyndebourne Festival Far from the tragic and heroic
elements that gave a bad name to the opera in the public's
mind, Falstaff stands out for the comical dimension of its
libretto, here put to the fore by the an exquisitely
mocking production and the brilliant performers' acting
(especially Christopher Purves and Marie Nicole Lemieux).
No aria di bravura is to be found, as would be the case in
Bellini's or Puccini's works. In Falstaff, music does not
prevail over the action, music holds up the dramatic
tension from the beginning to the end. Everything flows
naturally. The comedy in Falstaff. The main themes (cross-
dressing and revenge) suggest the comical dimension in
which the plot will plunge. Not to mention Arrigo Boito's
depiction of Falstaff as a farcical character, the opera
is bursting with comic situations either stemming from
mises en abyme, lies, misunderstandings, sudden
development or traps set by the different characters. The
atmosphere is exhilarating, as the Glyndebourne audience
can testify! Sir John Falstaff, a coarse hero? Drawing its
inspiration from Shakespeare's The Merry Wives of Windsor
(the Bard of Avon's influence on Verdi is well-known),
Falstaff presents a shallow, horrendous, despicable, and
cynical character. Thus, who is the hero? Women are the
heroin. Organized in a "gang," they lead the dance and set
traps, not only to the lustful Falstaff, but also to the
marital authority. At the end of the day, it is the witty
Mrs Quickly who best expresses the moral of the story:
Women are cunning as a fox!
